Russian Soyuz Rocket Launch Failure - Scary Rocket Explosion!

[suhoy55]

Вам штатный фейервек устроили, а вы развопелись.

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Ostia puta!

[44garethdown]

[Nelson Muntz] - "Haa-Haa"

[drtracernum20]

the Soyuz is the manned capsule itself. the rocket is the R7. was this a Progress launch then or just a satillite?

[kuki5050]

@drtracernum20 Soyuz rocket is upgraded R7 ICBM. And that was launch with satelite because Progress spacecraft always start from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, on film was a Russian launch complex in Plesetsk.

[Zak00r]

I gave like for the brave cameramen,,,,

[hockeyham]

Fokkenell!!



[localcrew]

"Everybody's lying on the ground shitting themselves..." So basically just your typical evening in Russia.

[Rajesh123268]

HA HA HA HA

RUSSIANS ARE VERY FUNNY.

YESTERDAY, THEY LAUNCHED A SATELLITE DIRECTLY INTO A HOUSE 1600 KM AWAY IN SIBERIA FROM PlesetsK.

[tenacious1884]

great uploadz, but not good focus, too shaky movement! +1

[alicempwilson]

I love the way at 5:56 there's a guy that's actually having to explain to/convince people that it was a failed launch!... No shit sherlock

[urmo345]

curse of autozooming

[urmo345]

@urmo345 i mean auto focus

[ringsgold]

Hey, at least if they learnt from what caused this it's one less thing that can go wrong with a manned launch.

[KradiaMaplestoryNL]

How could ppl like this??

[fivestarmichael]

Doesn't anyone in the country own a decent video camera?

[glintb]

Awesome. Based on the report from the explosion the thing landed just a few hundred yards away from the observers. No wonder they were seemed so dazed.

Piss poor video though with the hand held. Is a focused video too much to ask for? It's not rocket science, after all.

[HDRCX550VE]

@glintb Judging from how long the sound took to get there, I'd say it was about 500m away.

[AlgumaCoisaNoAr]

Dumb people! When an american shuttle explodes we supposed to be sad about it. Feel the same for russians. Learn to understand the "enemy" is the only way to peace, if there is such possibility.

[charleskafka]

SDI attack?

[misqumockas]

I would buy that for a dollar......LOL

[ParadigmaticShift]

Gonna need some touch-up paint

[onewhopwns]

Better watch out before some of you idiots offend Russian engineering,NASA uses Soyuz rockets (Made in the Soviet Union you hate much).

[latinluigi]

240p we meet again.

[ugowar]

@latinluigi Try switching to 360p much? What do you expect from a video posted in 2006? I mean other than a lame-ass and unoriginal comment posted about its video quality.

[latinluigi]

@ugowar Lame ass unoriginal comment, yet you decided to respond to it with a paragraph and instructions. Set yourself straight first buddy you need help.

[TheBusterFriendly]

and they are going to send one to a mars moon november 8th 2011

[captainofiron]

@TheBusterFriendly fobos-grunt is stuck in LEO because of the star tracker failed. supposedly the launch window closes in december. millions of rubles on the line.

[drbackjack]

Needs more boosters.

[sizzlerjoe1]

russia succs for success, only takes one failure to end the lives of OUR astronauts in the future. IT WILL HAPPEN !!

[nonamebrand0]

@sizzlerjoe1 it already has happened...

[grim4078]

'Something Just Exploded...'

[NightSord]

that is better than a 1000 movies !! lol

[ironhorzmn]

In Soviet Union, comrade, rockets launch YOU.

[Erik0072]

The Soyuz rocket, or as it as locally known, the Chernobyl missle.

[jandean61]

U.S.A O.K

[segafan230]

in soviet russia rockets are fireworks !

[segafan230]

nice fireworks :D

[ultraAnonymous556]

BRING IT DOWN MASON "blops reference"

[Boodhunnilesh]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA ROCKETS GOES DOWN !!

[Boodhunnilesh]

GN Drive destroyed

[drcurv]

"fokkin' hill" indeed! A spectacular Soyuz-U failure at Plesetsk, 15th October 2002; and a tragedy for soldier Ivan Marchenko, who was killed while watching this lift-off and explosion from behind a glass windowpane a mile or so from the launch pad.

Perhaps explains why it took nearly 4 years for this vid to be uploaded.

[uwijayaweera]

i dont get it

[youngdones]

Yeah, engineering failures.

[MrMaverickstar]

the sond was completely rong lol yer like booom!

[mariamole011]

maybe their premeditaded comemoration caused the rocket to fall.

[No603Scope]

err.... not Russian............. just sayin

[agonyflips]

The explosion killed 20-year-old soldier Ivan Marchenko, who had been watching the launch from behind a large glass window in a processing facility a kilometre from the launch pad. Eight other soldiers who were with Marchenko were injured, six being hospitalized.

[mariamole011]

@agonyflips quite impressive the explosions, what caused the rocket to divert its trajetory, ? an operator mistake? so the rocket falled into those soldiers?

[youngdones]

Russians aren't known for their engineering

[iam1and1isme]

@youngdones actually they are

[blastforyou]

Yes and nigeria is proud to say that it has not ever had a launch failure; people any nation that has space program has failure. I personally think this was a better show than if had worked as planned. These must be scientists from the D.U.H. institute "something has just exploded" , yea, no shit sherlock and the "don't tell me that just exploded" ok I won't and the querry of "did the rocket fall" and the people making comments were European/Brit common wealth.no intelligent life here.

[mackwing7]

humm a 15 dollars worth of fire works or a a rocket with a value over one million dollars. ill pick a rocket

[sosoasian]

this is like blair witch: russian rockets, with british actors

[orioncheung]

Taste like chicken.

[Rereversed]

Great Success!

[DrGreenthumbPhd]

shitastic camera work

[MrPapergunsmith]

it goes into the clouds still you hear the engines raw but then it fals back FTW

[Hamburgerphil]

FOOKIN' 'ELL!

[declaration963]

Daughter : Look daddy ! it's a fireworks

Dad : No honey, it's our nation billion dollar wasted....

[wuzzlevideos]

The English people were ESA scientists, you cretins.

[Sukagadoh]

RUSSIAN, ITS EPIC PLEASE CRY!

[youngdones]

Typical Russian engineering

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Ostia puta!

[pnitro3]

Its powered by vodka eh?

[JRock005]

That's what you get for trying to be American.

[aigg]

@JRock005 Funny to think that usa now depend on the soyuz to get astronauts to orbit. Who would have thought that some years ago. Keep in mind that the soyuz is the same rocket the russians used during cold war race with the americans. A bit ironic?

[hundredand15]

@aigg It's terrifying, considering Russia has had terrible launches in the past year, including two with the Soyuz.

[tziuriky]

@hundredand15 the US had a good amount of failures too in the past year. And considering the amount of rockets launched by russians every year (for them it's like a routine) their failure percentage is still lower then the US one. Said that, yes it's terrifying. Check the Chinese Long March failure back in the 90's ... it fell over a nearby village: all buildings were wiped out like if they were badly nuked. Also Europe, India, Japan and Korea(s) had several failures the past few years.

[z1nc1337]

BEST FIRECRACKER EVER! :D

[luckypuckypucky]

4:27 "Jesus Christ, ...oh my god, something blown up." Let me guess, maybe a rocket

[petunized]

look at the fisrs footage, made by a russian team. they don't seem to be impressed, despite they were seemingly closer. and compare it to the rest :)

[beckyholt]

So let me get this right. You are at a highly secure russian space launch facility and every one in the area is English??????? The Engine failed, exploded, separated the propellent stage and fell somewhere else.

[kevin1RU]

1:08 glitter! i love it!

[666sicco]

the power of vodka engine

[Dvich]

Go Foton!

LOL.

[mrteemumilto]

In Soviet Russia, rockets explode first and then you ride them.

[ImSimplyAwesome]

I thought i shot this damn thing down on black ops.....

[101andrewj]

and these are now the only way to get to the ISS?

[mrpickles414]

ohhhhh Russia, quit with the vodka!!

[thaitea10]

Even though I've already seen video this rocket failure, watching this footage of the spectators with the handheld video & real-time audio takes it to a whole new level of drama. Pieces of metal blowing up is fine & fun, but the real rush is seeing & hearing people react to the disaster.

[xXPuppyPowuhXx]

aww damn they put vodka in the fuel tanks again

[lolzvid]

in soviet russia rocket blows you

[RCSODA70]

Guys it was just the mission from Call of Duty Black Ops

[iDiYaLiCiOuS]

Drinking vodka for breakfast XD

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

AAAAaaaaa -----BBBannggg!!!!

[timd941]

hmm, kinda tells you NOT TO STAND METERS AWAY FROM THE LAUNCH PAD! If I ever saw one of these Soyuz launches, I'll stay farther away in case this happens. xD

[timd941]

another fail for the Russians!

[akaEx1]

@timd941 The Russians are the best in space tech. usa uses Russian spacecrafts :D suck it

[pablomartinr]

@akaEx1 another stupid comment

[akaEx1]

@pablomartinr are you talking about your own comment? i think you are

[ricjuk]

"fwookin el"

[repairdroid77]

Fucking-A hope no one got hurt in that. Best reguards from the USA.

[hitlersinmyhouse]

THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME

[kavazci]

English: Finest expletive language in the World.

America don't always buld the biggest (or indeed best)

Russia: They and the above were all fucking each other up the arse, to keep out the cold.

It beats 'I think we have an anomoly' & 'there appears ... a serious malfumnction'.

[SurrenderToMusic]

in old russia thees things happen all the time

[williamhad]

english are gay

[benry200]

blackops

[CoverMeImAsian]

fpsrussia would be proud

[TheDonutFox]

Skip to 4:28 for one of the most epic moments caught on camera

[jackalmaster747]

@TheDonutFox OH MY GOD that's EPIC

[TheDonutFox]

Skip to 4;28 for one of the epic moments caught on camera.

[TheDonutFox]

Man....that mushroom cloud was pretty.....

[recklessness1987]

@ 1:32 i hear someone saying "yeah there it comes!" in Dutch.

[ericleticia]

They start cheering until the rocket starts coming back down

[RyeOnHam]

0:23 appears to be a failure of some sort. Rocket did not have enough thrust after that.

[youngdones]

Why did so many Russian rockets explode shortly after launch?

[divedimon]

@youngdones Actually, more than 98% of russian launches are succesful. But we already have more than 1000 launches (for all the types of the rockets), so if there is 1 % possibility of failure, its 10 failed launches of 1000.

[Xytan4]

Holy shit! When some thing goes wrong with rockets, it REALLY goes wrong!

[skeptic9876]

i like the delay from when you see the explosion to the sound wave hitting them. cool video

[skeptic9876]

the second clip is hilarious! its all "yay clap clap yay" ....Wooooah fukcing hell" :D

[skeptic9876]

omg it was right in front of you!

i would have been running lol

[maarwiebenik]

best firework ever!!! XD

[mnorton70]

Focken 'ell!

[damygeebo]

soooooo... was this good or bad?

[Scrat335]

@damygeebo Bad for the rocket and satellite it was carrying but no one was killed on the ground. Protons have a great success rate but every once in awhile something goes wrong.

[MrBennetzen]

@Scrat335 Actually, One Soldier was killed and eight others were injured with six of them being hospitalized.

[RyeOnHam]

@Scrat335 It's not a Proton. Am I missing something?

[Scrat335]

@RyeOnHam Are we all missing something? I'm working from memory about an article and this video. It was a Proton missile launch that went bad and it landed out on the steppe somewhere. No one was killed but it was quite spectacular. Unless somebody is willing to track down all of the original material (I'm not) there's no point in debating it.

[CrazyShadowStudios]

congradulations you have been mini nuked

[2012ageoflight]

That was such a blast . Millions burned .

[jonboy32367]

"oh my god the sparks" lol



[mariamole011]

@jonboy32367 one said, go for god?

[lewandlo]

Don`y ya just hate it when you have a dude in the box of fire crackers?

[frightmere]

that...was....expensive..

[nomnomnom777]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA...



[angusleilomo]

the shockwave is pretty strong i guess

[tomir3x6]

In Soviet Russia, rocket launches YOU!!

[dalek14mc]

1:11

Mission accomplished, it brought back 10 million stars!!!

[TP1988]

"Ah," said the accident investigator, "I can see here why it failed so spectacularly, look - 'Made in Russia'."

[mafiamanj15]

Was this at the Baikonur launch facility?

[DiEGO2DaBAY]

WOW!!!!!

[jetlxix]

Lynn!!! Lynn!! Lynn! ... Rocket failed, might as well tried to get laid...

[lighterinthestorm]

1:15 mission success. It brought thousands of stars back.

[EdmDude]

Wile E. Coyote : Super Genious!

[zfjquery]

in soviet russia ..............it happens.

[7249xxl]

russians talking english like the dutch people WTF

[Rileyman2rr]

"Go for god, go for god" errrrrrrr SMASH!, in Soviet russia god gets You. (i recognize this isn't in Soviet Russia)

[pendeja19]

did you notice the fall and girly moan at the very end? camera fail

[seraptorxxx]

Fail.

[bloodan]

ostia puta! ^^

[7249xxl]

now heres my question WTF hapend explosion in mid ear seperetion

[maksphoto78]

From Wikipedia: "The explosion killed 20-year-old soldier Ivan Marchenko, who had been watching the launch from behind a large glass window in a processing facility a kilometre from the launch pad. Eight other soldiers who were with Marchenko were injured, six being hospitalized. Rocket fragments fell in the woods in the same area starting a forest fire, and a Block D strap-on booster which came off during disintegration impacted the launch pad, causing structural damage." RIP :(

[maksphoto78]

"Oh my god, something blew up, everybody ran miles, oh my god the sparks."

haha

[7249xxl]

oh kijk hem gaan i dont know but that was dutch and im from holland so correct me if im wrong and dam that was scary

[CMI1986X64]

Hands down coolest video on youtube,

[RhoadsLynch]

"Blow it Mason, do it now!!!!!" Clearly this was the Call Of Duty Black Ops release party. Man, Activision is putting that map pack money to good use ;)

[11AMERICANO11]

and laugh.. did anyone die near the rocket?

[bubblinbrownsugar616]

"Oh my God something blew up"

No shit.

[BigGthatsme88]

No he's irish and he's saying 'fucking hell' lol

[Shaitantoo]

Happy New Year!

[genenco1]

I love the just before the explosion the guy says "Fookin en!" which I think translates quite well.

[jimp1102]

And from the explosion, Chuck Norris was born.

[Marcus666Sund]

The only comment you need here is: HOLY CRAP!

[enginuitor]

@5:01 "...failure!"

...sounds about right. :-(

[loafier]

crazy

[ChrisCarney123]

If i can see, it looked like GLOWING LEGENDARY AND RARE BALLS NAMED FUCKTON LAUNCHED INTO THE SKY, but it exploded....

My brain: It's FOTON!

[bruzONExx]

pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo justttiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnn beeeeeeeeeeeeeeebbeeeeeeeeerrr­r

[KawasakiPlant]

Did the rocket fall back down to earth and then explode, or did it explode in midair in the atmosphere?

[anthony2154]

@KawasakiPlant yea, it fell down to earth. Stupid rocket

[andygreat423]

i heard somebody jerking off

[tollboothjason]

Judging by the time delay between the flash of light and the sound of the explosion, these observers were a half a mile or less away from the launch. How in the world did they let them get that close?! With a NASA launch, the bare minimum is 3 miles, and usually more like 6 to 7!

[Maximussy666]

@tollboothjason not entirely true about NASA launches, i watched a launch along time ago from 1 mile away in cape canaveral.... plus this is probably launched at baikonur which is kazakhstan which doesnt uphold the same safety standards as the U.S.

[pdlip1]

Something happen to one of the engines at 0:23

Probably the start of the problems.

[paul06660]

First shot looks like an atomic bomb going off.

[mammothmx21]

4:18 flash bang

[AreaQNH870]

that would have been sooooooo awesome to be there

[NOTABOOS]

ostia puta

[SupportGunner95]

1:50 TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING!!

[Kauwhaka]

Well, there are only TWO english words these guys know. And we heard them both!

[ejasonk]

impressive

[darktooth57]

Is it wrong that I started cracking up laughing at the explosion? Not that I hate Russia or the space program, Russia is bad ass and i LOVE the space program but listen to the people! You can't help but LAUGH!

[cpcomedy314]

*Looks at back of Rocket in rubble*

.....HOW THE FUCK WAS THIS MADE IN CHINA?!

[KnoxSUX]

In Sovjet Russia, the rocket launches YOU!

[TheViralEntity]

The drama. OMG THE SPARKS, WE'VE RUN MILES. THE SPARRRKKSSS!

[fortynineohfive]

"shit something's exploded"

LOL you don't fucking say?

[san6edro49]

Fookin Ell...Fookin Ell...

[xXMojoXx2]

god damnit. i cant shoot anything when the rocket takes off

[Mafiawl]

From 2:18 to 3:20 PMSL! ...puff puff FOOKIN HELL - puff puff - FOOKIN HELL!.......reminds me of the DADS ARMY film when their rocket went up and then came back down towards the platoon and blew up the barn.

Hahahaha btw 4:30 "Oh my god...something's jus
